February 13, 2018 at 6:00 pmThe only thing I had was Diet Dr Pepper. Anyone use diet soda? How did it turn out? Mine are still cooking
Nicole says
August 17, 2017 at 7:29 amMy family LOVES these! We tried using Dr. Pepper and they turned out great that way too! My husband likes them a little crispy on the outside so after they are finished he throws them on the grill for 5 minutes (about 2 min per side) just to get then crisp. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!
Heidi says
August 24, 2017 at 9:24 pmYou’re very welcome, Nicole… so glad to hear your family loves the ribs! 🙂

June 21, 2017 at 12:43 pmHello.
Thank you for your recipes and being so kind in responding to everyone’s questions and comments.
I just saw a post here that this recipe doesn’t call for baby back ribs, which is what’s cooking now..Oops, I should’ve paid better attention ⚠. Hopefully they turn out OK .
I’ll let you know. I’m going to check them before the 4 hours. Fingers crossed
Kedia says
March 22, 2017 at 9:43 amCan you use KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce instead. I’m more of a fan of that than sweet baby rays
Heidi says
March 22, 2017 at 9:49 amHi Kedia ~ absolutely… if you prefer KC Masterpiece, you can definitely swap out the sauce. Enjoy!! 🙂
Cheryl says
February 12, 2017 at 10:47 amCould you use boneless country style ribs? If so … would the cooking time be the same? 🙂

February 21, 2016 at 2:28 pmO my Goodness!!! Thank you so much for this recipe. I just tried it today and this is so delicious!

Buster says
February 7, 2016 at 4:40 amWowzers!!! Cant wait ti maje these tiday fir the big game. One question. Do the ribs need to be totally covered in coke?
Heidi says
April 1, 2016 at 11:52 amHi Buster ~ you’ll pour the sauce over the ribs, but if some slides off that’s okay. They don’t need to be completely submerged in the sauce when cooking.
Buster says
April 1, 2016 at 11:57 amThat’s kind I have made them twice now (Superbowl and Easter) BEST RIBS EVER!!! Only one problem… I ever have leftovers.
Thanks
Heidi says

Denise Burns says
November 3, 2014 at 12:56 pmI wouldn’t use diet sodas. I think the sugar in the soda is what gives the flavor to the meat.
